Le Jazz Hot from Victor/Victoria is featured in Duets, the fourth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Kurt.
The theme of the song was to have a "duet" with himself by performing both the male and female parts of the original song. Santana questioned him before he performed the song, how he can do a duet by himself, as it would be "vocal masturbation." Mike, Tina and the Cheerios (without Santana), acted as the background dancers. The song is sung as a result of Kurt terminating his original duet with Sam, after Burt and Finn put him under pressure.
Kurt:
'Bout twenty years ago way down in New Orleans
A group of fellers found a new kind of music
An' they decided to call it... Jazz!
No other sound has what this music has
Before they knew it, it was whizzin' 'round the world
The world was ready for a blue kind of music
An' now they play it from Steamboat Springs to La Paz
Oh baby, won't you play me
Le Jazz Hot, maybe
And don't ever let it end
I tell ya friend, it's really somethin' to hear
I can't sit still when there's that rhythm near me
Also, baby, Le Jazz Hot, maybe
What's holdin' my soul together!
Don't know whether it's mornin' or night;
Only know it's soundin' right
So come on
In and play me
Le Jazz Hot, baby
'Cause I love my Jazz...hot!
Before they knew it, it was whizzin' 'round the world
The world was ready for a blue kind of music
An' now they play it from Steamboat Springs to La Paz
When you play me
Le Jazz Hot, baby
You're holdin' my soul together
Don't know whether it's mornin' or night;
Only know it's soundin' right;
So come on in and play me
Le Jazz Hot, baby
'Cause I love my Jazz Hot
Le Jazz...
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!
Le Jazz Hot!
Trivia
According to Cory Monteith, this is the first musical number filmed at the Paramount Lot in Hollywood. All previous performances were performed at a real auditorium.
This is the only number in the episode "Duets" that is not a duet.
